Complex PTSD (CPTSD) - 4 Hours - $65.00

Childhood trauma does not always come in obvious or "loud" forms. While physical, emotional, sexual, verbal, or psychological abuse are widely recognized, many individuals are impacted by silent traumas-such as emotional neglect, abandonment, inconsistent caregiving, maladaptive parenting styles, or environments that lacked safety, attunement, and nurture. These experiences can have lasting effects on emotional regulation, self-worth, relationships, and the nervous system.

This workshop focuses on Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), a condition that can develop in response to prolonged or repeated relational trauma, particularly during childhood. Drawing from trauma-informed clinical perspectives and the work of Pete Walker, CPTSD is explored through its common features, including emotional flashbacks, toxic shame, self-abandonment, an intense inner critic, and social anxiety.

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how early experiences shape the mind and body and why certain patterns-such as chronic self-criticism, hypervigilance, or emotional overwhelm-persist into adulthood. In addition to psychoeducation, this workshop offers practical, skills-based tools designed to support healing, increase self-compassion, and promote greater emotional safety and stability.

This workshop is intended for individuals seeking insight into the long-term impact of childhood trauma and those looking for trauma-informed strategies to support their healing journey.

Codependency - 4 Hours - $65.00

Codependency is more common than most people realize. It develops over time through maladaptive thought patterns that interfere with our ability to act from our true selves. People who struggle with codependency often experience intense guilt, feel responsible for others' happiness, avoid conflict, and habitually put others' needs before their own, even when it goes against their desires. Over time, these patterns can lead to persistent dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and a sense of being "stuck," often without understanding why.

This trauma-informed workshop explores the origins and symptoms of codependency and how it impacts daily life and relationships. Participants will learn to identify maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, gain insight into their emotional and psychological patterns, and practice practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries, fostering self-compassion, and reclaiming emotional autonomy.

Whether you want to improve your relationships, strengthen your sense of self, or develop healthier ways of relating to others, this workshop provides education, insight, and skills to support lasting growth.

Living with Grief - 4 Hours - $65.00

Grief is one of life's most complex and painful experiences, and it doesn't always come in obvious forms. While the loss of a loved one is often recognized, grief can also arise from endings of relationships, friendships, careers, or long-held beliefs and patterns. These experiences-whether loud and immediate or quiet and subtle-can bring thoughts and feelings that feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even frightening.

This trauma-informed workshop explores the many ways grief can show up in our lives and how it can impact emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Participants will learn practical, evidence-informed strategies for processing grief, managing intense emotions, and navigating the journey toward healing.

Through reflection, education, and skill-building, this workshop supports individuals in experiencing grief in a healthy way, cultivating self-compassion, and building resilience for life's inevitable losses.

Whether you are coping with a recent loss or navigating grief accumulated over time, this workshop provides guidance, tools, and compassionate support to help you move forward while honoring your experiences.

Emotional Intelligence - 4 Hours - $65.00

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions while effectively navigating the emotions of others. Developing emotional intelligence can improve relationships, communication, and overall well-being.This workshop is designed to provide practical, trauma-informed strategies for enhancing emotional awareness and interpersonal skills. Participants will explore three key areas:

• Cognitive Distortions: Learn to identify common patterns of distorted thinking-such as all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, and catastrophizing-and practice techniques to challenge these patterns. Participants will develop adaptive thinking strategies, including balanced thinking, perspective-taking, and problem-solving, and integrate mindfulness techniques to become more aware of thoughts and emotions in the present moment.
• Diplomatic Communication: Explore active listening strategies and practical exercises to improve communication in daily life. Participants will practice empathetic responses, assertiveness, and conflict resolution techniques, learning how to make these skills accessible and effective in real-world scenarios.
• Emotions, Anger Management, and Coping Skills:Understand the nature of emotions, how to identify and regulate them, and develop healthy coping skills. This segment focuses on managing anger and other intense emotions with awareness and self-compassion, empowering participants to respond rather than react in challenging situations.

By the end of this workshop, participants will gain tools to increase emotional awareness, improve communication, manage emotions effectively, and strengthen personal and professional relationships.

Why Can't I Stop It: Battling The Inner Critic - 4 Hours - $65.00

Many people live with an inner critic that feels relentless-constantly questioning, judging, or undermining them despite their best efforts to "think more positively" or silence it. This inner voice often didn't appear out of nowhere; it frequently developed as a protective response to early experiences, expectations, or environments where safety, connection, or approval felt uncertain.

This trauma-informed workshop helps participants understand what the inner critic is, where it comes from, and why it can feel so hard to ignore. Rather than viewing the inner critic as a flaw or failure, we explore its original role and how it may have once served an important purpose.

Participants will learn to identify their own patterns of inner criticism and gain practical, skills-based tools to respond to this voice with greater awareness, compassion, and choice. The focus is not on eliminating the inner critic, but on reducing its power and building a healthier internal relationship that supports emotional regulation, confidence, and well-being.

This workshop is well-suited for individuals who struggle with negative self-talk, shame, self-doubt, or perfectionism and who are seeking trauma-informed strategies for lasting change.
